William Fothergill Cooke (1806-1879) was an English inventor who, in partnership with scientist Charles Wheatstone, developed and patented the first commercial electric telegraph system in Britain in 1837. The Cooke-Wheatstone telegraph used needles to indicate letters on a dial face and was adopted...
Why this score
Co-developed the commercially successful Cooke-Wheatstone telegraph; strong practical impact but substantial dependence on Wheatstone's scientific contributions.
